      Here’s the thing too - there was an interview on the news in my country with an Israeli legal expert on sexual assault. She was pleased with the UN report investigating Hamas’ sexual assaults.

      When asked if there would be a similar UN investigation for Palestinians, she said she didn’t see why the UN needed to because Palestine has its own agencies on the ground who can investigate.

        There’s a video on r/Palestine right now showing the UN “investigator” basically admitting that she used Zaka statements for her report of Hamas raping people when a journalist asks her.
